Best in Show: Fall Festival Preview, plus Our Labor Film Festival

Best in Show: Fall Festival Preview, plus Our Labor Film Festival

On a special musical episode of Best in Show, our crew—Mia Lee Vicino, Gemma Gracewood and Brian Formo unpacks what the fall film festival season has in store for movie lovers and awards voters. It all goes down once Venice kicks off on August 30, so we’re here to hand-pick some highlights from acclaimed directors like Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola, Wes Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi and David Fincher. Plus, with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes on our minds, we’ve programmed our own labor-themed film festival—including Silkwood (1983), The Killing Floor (1984) and Pride (2014) and more!—so you can add some solidarity to your forever watchlist.
